Update on this case. AP is already slanting it, calling Heyer's death a "killing" when she actually died of a heart attack.

There’s video of the back of his car being hit with a board, making it reasonable for someone to speed off fearing their safety from mob violence.

The Antifa mob in Seattle or Portland that attack a man with South Carolina plates on his car merely for having that license plate, chasing him down and damaging the car, shows that fear of liberal mobs IS legitimate fear for one’s safety.

This hasn’t gone to trial yet? The media certainly have gotten their mileage out of it—Saying it was intentional

It wasn’t a white nationalist rally for God’s sake.

nobody talks about that and all of a sudden I can’t seem to find the extended video showing his car getting whacked.

Even the headline is a lie.

Antifa Rally.

NOT White Nationalist.

‘calling Heyer’s death a “killing” when she actually died of a heart attack.’

it’s true that she wasn’t attacked, but the incipient cause of the heart attack was injury from the car accident...

I don’t think the car even hit her. He’s been overcharged. Some sort is manslaughter would make more sense.

“Some sort is manslaughter would make more sense.”

He was threatened with an AR15 and I believe I heard of some new video that’s come out showing a guy threatening him with a pistol. Why were these people in front of his car?

The prosecutors are going to try him in the media.

Is “white nationalist” even a real term? Where is it defined?

The left invents a convenient political label and the press dutifully latches onto it and pretends it’s a thing.

She was not actually hit by the car at all. There is video of the car and of this woman being taken off by stretcher. There is about 150lb difference between the two women.

I think this was debunked by the coroner’s report, which indicated her cause of death as blunt-force trauma to the chest.

she actually died of a heart attack.

She died of cardiac arrest upon being struck in the chest by the vehicle. Don't spread fake news.

Oh, the old heart attack murder. I say he claim he was in fear of grevious bodily harm or death by the aunt teefuh attackers.

She was part of a violent mob that attacked him - the prosecution is a political one. They should be prosecuting the other members of the mob, not the mob’s victim.
